Over in Risley (near junction 25 of the M1, motorway fans) is the Owl Experience, an educational centre that runs falconry courses and bird of prey experiences. On a very windy day in early March, some of our animal enthusiasts paid the Owl Experience a visit and got the chance to learn more about these amazing creatures. Our hands-on afternoon involved lots of time with different sorts of owl (and a Laughing Kookaburra) and the chance to fly these magnificent birds. A truly magical experience!
